Pitchfork Music Festival Paris 2016: A Playlist

Pitchfork Music Festival Paris is quickly approaching. From October 27 to 29, M.I.A., Bat For Lashes, Nick Murphy (fka Chet Faker), Parquet Courts, Moderat, Porches, and many more will take the stage at Grande Halle De La Villette. (Regular three-day passes are still available, as are tickets for individual days, in case you’re wondering.) Prior to the festival, we’re throwing a block party around Bastille (11th arrondissement) on October 25 and 26, dubbed Pitchfork Avant-Garde and featuring 42 emerging artists across seven venues. We’ve already pulled together playliststo pregame for Avant-Garde, but now it’s time to gear up for the festival proper. Crank these recent jams from the main-stage performers while you make your way to Paris, or simply admire aurally from afar.
